Elon Musk's latest move is getting into the AI wars. He had been involved in, or I've interviewed him many times about open AI. The media coverage of Bingbot and of AI in general, I think you've been a little skeptical of it,. especially since it covers this article in the time. Microsoft will be joined shortly by Youssef Medi who oversees all things Bingbot and more at Microsoft.
Is AI going to fall in love with you? Write your term papers? Or help you plan a trip to Belize? The answer to all three is: maybe. How well it does any of those things remains to be seen, but Kara tells Nayeema the fast-developing AI will be more significant than almost anything else she's covered in tech.
To understand the it, we’re joined by Yusuf Mehdi, corporate vice president and consumer chief marketing officer at Microsoft, who is in charge of rolling out the new, AI-powered Bing. On the agenda: how the tech works, why the launch demo was buggy, the ethical considerations of a new technology and what Bill Gates has to say about AI.
